In Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks is jailed for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man, a violation of the city's racial segregation laws.
A finish equipment operator is a construction equipment operator who specializes in controlling the machines that are used in the final stages of construction products. They work in coordination with a supervisor and a crew of construction workers; when running the machinery, they often communicate via radio or hand signals.
Operators are an entry level position, lacking necessary machining skills, that run jobs that have already been proven out by a machinist. In the industry, we call them 'Button Pushers'. Sure, operators have their place in a machine shop, but they should never be considered a machinist. That's an insult to true machinists and an unwarranted/unearned elevation of an operator's real status.
